Goosebumps grew up your arms as the heavy metal door of the cell fell shut. The sound of a key turning inside a lock made your ears flinch.

Heavy footsteps faded into the distance. You and Vi kept quiet, eyes locked until everything was dead silent. And it was exactly that.

It was dead silent. A bit unsettling if you considered that there were people supposed to be captivated down here.

Her brows pulled together and slight shake of her head Vi curled her lips in a silent question. You couldn't even answer with anything but a shrug.

"Don't you hear that?", you gestured around.

Again, Vi just shrugged. But a slight shimmer of realisation lit up on the blue of her eyes. Surprise made her eyebrows rise. Then confusion took its place.

"No one here?", she asked, head tilted. "I never wondered, but how many are down here?"

You shrugged.

"Dunno. But I'm sure as shit there used to be a few."

"Now that you mention it.", she walked up to the bars to throw a look into the hallway. "Haven't seen faces in a while. Besides the enforcers, I mean."

"Me neither.", chewing on the inside of your cheek you crossed your arms in front of your chest and thought. "Not even on the way to the arena or back."

Something inside Vi shifted. You could see goosebumps grow all over her arms while her shoulders tensed. She threw a glance back over her shoulder and you could tell from one look that she had the same bad gut feeling as you.

Taking a deep breath, you closed your eyes.

"Listen, I don't know what history you have with the sheriff or other uncomfortable fellas, but they want you gone.", you looked her deep in the eyes. "But you already know that, don't you?"

A shadow crossed her face, gloomy, full of knowing that her existence was a thorn in someone's side. Someone very powerful.

"That why they put me in here with you?", she asked, one eyebrow raised. "Cause... you know."

The hint of a sarcastic smirk appeared on your lips.

"That's what they hoped for. Sheriff wasn't pleased that you are still alive.", you shrugged. "But I don't give two shits about his hurt feelings. And I think he knows that too."

"So...", she tilted her head back to gift you one of her very charming smiles. "He's trying to make both of us disappear now?"

You chuckled.

"He said I'd end up collateral damage."

"Nothing you're too happy about I take it."

"Damn right.", you pulled a face. "Pissed me off so much I thought about making his life a living hell. Maybe show how unfit he is for sheriff duty."

Vi couldn't help but chuckle. With a broad grin on her face she left the bars alone and walked over to you, swaying her hips in a playful manner.

"Please tell me more...", she grabbed you by the wrist, pulling you close to her.

Your arms still crossed you bumped with your shoulder against her breast, feeling the soft flesh curve against yours. Warmth entangled you, earned a soft smile and a roll of your eyes from you.

"You're really annoying, kid.", your voice was rough, a little thick with memories of the shower.

Vi came closer. The expression on her face was oh so sweet. Almost seductive. And she knew that as well as you could feel it.

Your entire body was tingling with something warm, fuzzy. At the same time there was this desire growing in the pit of your stomach. The excitement.

Now that you had had a taste of what she was able to give you wanted to taste it again. All of it.

"Annoying, maybe.", she purred, leaning slightly down to have a soft, teasing nibble on your neck. "But you haven't killed me yet so I take it you're starting to like me. Sweet cheeks."

Rolling your eyes, you unfolded your arms to let them wander up her shoulder, wrapping around her face to hold it in the most gentle manner you had ever done before.

"Fun story.", you tilted your head but didn't give a kiss to tease her. "I actually planned on using you."

Her eyebrows rose and the smirk grew while her arms wrapped tighter around your hips, pulling you closer. Your chests met, heartbeats melted, excited.

"Use me?", Vi asked and tried to steal a kiss but you skilfully avoided it and instead licked the tip of her pointed nose.

"If I want to make this prison mine and me untouchable I need allies. You're a great candidate.", you explained soberly.

Vi kept on smiling.

"Hmmm, yeah I'm pretty great. Tell me more."

"The lower levels are the most secure. It's impossible to get back up without authorisation. Or an enforcer in our pockets."

"Hmmm~ go on.", Vi leaned down, letting her lips graze the sensitive skin of your earlobe.

Even though you really planned on telling her your plan now you couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath. Something tingled in the back of your neck.

But if we could get to the control center of the arena we could shut off the lower levels. No one get out. But no one would get in either.

Vi's breath caressed your neck.

"No one would disturb us anymore.", she whispered.

The hairs in the back of your neck stood up straight.

"Right...", heat made your head spin like a fever.

"But how do we survive down here?", she asked.

Your nails curled as she took a gentle bite of your cheek. Everything inside your body tingled. Your breath hitched. And your mind went blank. But you had to tell her, now or never.

"There must be a secret entrance up in the jaw.", you almost failed to form proper words. "The... the guests. High ranking Piltover scum and... Zaunites. They must have a way to get here... unnoticed."

A gasp escaped you as Vi's hands ran down your back and took a handful of your bum.
